2020 6 Nations - France vs England

Squidgy Black

France looking a bit disorganised so far, England are a bit sloppy though.

Granny15

If France win it’s a huge vote of confidence in trying youth and clearing out the old.

Stheno

Try to France

A-Train

Good break by Teddy and good recycling by France for the try.

eigrod

That is a fantastic try

vienne86

Super try. Like the France of old.

theVersatile

What a beauty

Granny15

Rattez reminds me of Phillipe Bernard Salles. Skinny small and lightning fast

mfceiling

Brexit me hole. Hon France.

c.p.w.g.w

Surely itoji knocked that on... penalty?

Squidgy Black

Some really lovely bits of play in that sequence.

razorblunt

Poor tackle from Youngs. Itoje getting away with plain as day stuff again.

cameramonkey

Forward inside pass in that try

vienne86

Great kickoff by England

Granny15

Would love if France win this

Squidgy Black

Itoje's a real menace at the breakdown. Complete arsehole if you're the opposition team/fans but he gets away with murder.

It's just cheating in reality...and poor referring...come on France

razorblunt

That French backrow would just be pests all day. You’d get no rest.
Love watching Alldritt.

Hit on teddy looked illegal?

Squidgy Black

That was a filthy hit on Thomas. Has to go back and look at it.

Bridge93

How have England not had a yellow card yet?

razorblunt

The sound of Farrell tackling Vackatawa, I think he’s broken something.

Edit - looked like a stinger

c.p.w.g.w

Itoje again...how is it being missed

Squidgy Black

The little tip ons in contact by France are unreal, England just can't cope with it

vienne86

Great kick. I'm loving this so far!

Clegg

Physicality is off the charts from both sides.

We'll need to up ours to 2018 levels if we're to stand a chance.

pickarooney

Centres dropping like flies.

A-Train

Good penalty 10-0 to France.

bilston

England in trouble here. Tuilagi off, Farrell looks in difficulty, France 10 points to the good.

It's an enjoyable watch.

Squidgy Black

Itoje completely sealing that ruck lying on top of it

Dave_The_Sheep

10 - 0 up after 15 minutes against England and Galthié looks like someone killed his dog.

vienne86

Very good defence by France.

That was particularly egregious as well. Just slapped the ball out of his hand

Stheno

Grief this was unexpected

A-Train

Great try. I wonder will be allowed?

Panda Killa

Pleasantly surprised here... G'wan France!

vienne86

Magic! But they'll have to check it.

Clegg

England aren't switched on at all. They stopped playing after that kick.

razorblunt

Owens is a divil for coaching the players mid game.

bilston

Not sure this will.count, but why did England just stop playing.

Squidgy Black

Fair play to Owens for allowing that to play on even if it will get overturned by the TMO.

Dave_The_Sheep

Yeah, that's not going to count.

bilston

Comes off blue.

Stheno

Try allowed

Panda Killa

That's standing I'd say

bilston

The TMO is wrong, it does come off the blue hand!

A-Train

That’s a try ball off Lawes arm.

France 17-0

Squidgy Black

That is amazing. Right call or not, I think every fan from the other 5 Nations is absolutely delighted.

I think so too. Would be bulling if that stood against Ireland. England players gave up as well which was crazy

I don't think so.
